WRIGHT FORE. 



\\\. April 16, 1858. 



Mr. Anderson, from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, made the 
. following 

REPORT. 

The Committee on Invalid Pensions, to lohom was referred the petit ion 
and accompanying papers of Wright Fore, of the State of Missis- 
sippi, report: 

That the petitioner claims to have enlisted as a private in the 
mounted company of Captain David Smith, in Colonel Coffee's 
brigade of Tennessee troops, in the month of October, 1813. That 
in the battle of Talladega, on the 9th day of November, 1813, he was 
wounded in the left shoulder by a rifle ball fired from the camp of the 
enemy, which so disabled him as to render him unfit for duty ; he 
was considered dangerously wounded, and left at Fort Strother ; was 
carried from there to the hospital at Huntsville, Alabama, where he 
remained until February following, when he was sent for by his 
friends and taken home. 

John Moore, Robert Haygood, and John Rutherford, who were 
in the same service and company with the petitioner, testify fully to 
his having been wounded in the service. 

The Third Auditor of the Treasury, who has the custody of the 
rolls of the company to which the petitioner belonged, states tliat the 
name of Wright Fore appears on said rolls from the 24th of Septem- 
ber, 1813, to the 16th of May, 1814. On said roll he is noted as 
" wounded 9th November, 1813." 

John Shelby and Boyd McNairy, who sign themselves M. D., swear 
on the 1st of December^ 1817, that he is disabled one half by reason 
of said wound. 

J. J. Thornton and H. H. Parker, who are certified to be reputable 
and credible physicians, swear on the 11th of July, 1852, that said 
Wright Fore is disabled three-fourths. All the witnesses are certified 
to be men of veracity and truth. The committee are unanimous in 
the opinion that this is a meritorious case, and demands relief at the 
hands of Congress. They therefore report a bill.
